Bump In The Hump Sneak Peek: Sam Lamar - Major Arcana: Origins

Today marks the release of Sam Lamar's third EP on hometown label Kannibalen. Staying supernatural, Major Arcana: Origins picks up precisely where last year's Major Arcana left off. Following those four trump tracks/cards, these new three possess the same incredible power, while pushing the EP further into the infinite nether. "The Hierophant," "The Lovers" and "The Chariot" are all more esoteric and celestial in scope, a trend that continues as the deck progresses. While the deck seems stacked towards the sky, these tracks seem to dive deeper into the underworld of bass and brutishness.

The lead track "The Hierophant," which features Fly Jordy, is an unabashed banger led by snarling synths and a threatening top-line. "The Lovers" makes no room for a gentle touch or caring caress, instead it breaks out whips and chains, inflicting plenty of painful punches. Finally, "The Chariot" gallops through the gnarr as the most straightforward firefight of the trio. Each track is egregious in its inhumanity, while Sam Lamar's diabolic delivery is at peak performance in Major Arcana: Origins. Hear one of the tracks in tonight's all new episode of Bump In The Hump live from 7-9 PM EDT on Radio Humber or after the fact on Mixcloud.
